Overview

The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America is an anthology of life stories of largely ordinary individuals struggling to forge a life during the unstable colonial period in Latin America. These mini-biographies show the tensions that emerged when the political, social, religious, and economic ideals of the Spanish and Portugese colonial regimes and the Roman Catholic Church conflicted with the realities of daily life in the Americas.

The essays examine subthemes of gender roles; race and ethnicity; conflicts over religious orthodoxy; and crime, violence, and rebellion, while illustrating the overall theme of social order and disorder in a colonial setting. Professor Andrien has carefully selected pieces to comprise a volume that is well balanced in terms of geography, gender, and ethnicity.

What People are Saying About This

Jeremy Baskes

This wonderful book brings to life the complex history of colonial Latin America in ways that traditional textbooks cannot. Students will better identify with everyday life in the colonies through the rich accounts of the experiences of both the ordinary and extraordinary individuals presented in this work. It will undoubtedly enhance lectures and spark lively discussions. A welcome addition!

William Taylor

Kenneth Andrien proves himself a skillful editor who knows what works in the classroom. This is an excellent supplementary reading.

Peter Guardino

The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America is full of fascinating stories. It is a celebration of historians’ ability to research the lives of the common folk whose portraits never reach the walls of museums. These vivid narratives about real people make the great themes of colonial Latin American history more immediate and accessible to students.

Susan M. Socolow

This is a wonderful book, rich with the personal histories of everyday colonial people masterfully set within the context of time and place. These engrossing portraits invite the reader to examine how men and women—indigenous people, Europeans and those of African descent, slave and free, merchants, officers, soldiers, writers, chieftains (kurakas) and mystics—challenged their assigned roles within the colonial social hierarchy.

Kendall W. Brown

Aimed at student readers, these biographical vignettes bring colonial Latin American history to life. Each makes a superb starting point for analyzing and discussing how colonialism affected the lives of real people.

To help students learn how major historical events influenced the daily life experiences of common people, scholar contributors profile lives of real people in colonial Spanish and Portuguese America, concentrating on how they adjusted to the large, impersonal historical forces that shaped their lives. Editor Andrien is professor of history at The Ohio State University, Columbus; he supplies introductions to each of three time periods under consideration (beginnings<-->1492-1610; mature colonial order<-->1610-1740; and reform, resistance, rebellion<-->1740-1825). The contributors' affiliations are not identified. Each of the 17 profiles includes notes and suggested reading. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Recommended for classroom use. This textbook gets away from the dominant presentation of topics and, instead, focuses on biographical profiles of people and their times.
